ONTARIO HYDRO PRESIDENT
Consideration of the designated matter pursuant to standing order 125, relating to the departure of the president of Ontario Hydro.
The Chair (Mr Peter Kormos): I see a quorum. It's 3:55. All three caucuses are represented. There are no witnesses. Are there any matters to discuss before we adjourn?
Mr Steven Offer (Mississauga North): As you'll know, there are a number of matters that have been brought up before the committee with respect to the non-attendance of witnesses. They've refused to respond to your request. There has been the issue of whether the committee is ready to meet its responsibility in this matter by asking for the Legislature to request the Speaker to issue a warrant for the attendance of those individuals who we as a committee feel are necessary to deal with the issue.
I am wondering, if I might, recognizing that no individual has come forward, whether the government members are now ready to meet their responsibility in this matter by acquiescing and agreeing to a report of this committee to go forward to the Legislature requesting the Legislature to ask the Speaker to issue a warrant. I just thought I would like to hear whether the government members of this committee are ready to meet their responsibility, or do they wish to continue to thwart the actions of this committee under rule 125?
The Chair: A motion to that effect has already, as you know, been put to the committee. The committee has voted on that motion. So a motion in that regard would not be in order. You are obviously seeking unanimous consent to do that. Is there unanimous consent?
Mr Bob Huget (Sarnia): No, Mr Chairman.
The Chair: There is not unanimous consent. Any other business to discuss? Thank you. We are adjourned till Monday at 3:30 or soon thereafter.
The committee adjourned at 1557.
